Transfer News: Defender Moves On

Following Michael Ewen and Craig Dorrat's closed season moves to Turriff United, we can confirm that a third player has left the club ahead of the 2010/11 season.

After bring put up for sale at the start of May, centre half Martin Skinner has been sold to Deveronvale.

The 21 year old joined the club in the summer of last year after his contract expired with Peterhead.

Skinner got off to a good start with the club forming a promising partnership at the back with captain Neil Reid and later Kenny McKenzie.

The former Aberdeen youth captain made 37 squad appearances for the black and gold’s and netted his first goal for the club with the winner in a 3-2 win over Rothes in mid-February. His second goal came at the start of May in a 3-0 win at Lossiemouth in what turned out to be his final start for the Strathbogie side when he transfer-listed days after.
